I love my black Empowerment beads and funnily they only see the light in Spring/Summer. They balance out the lighter half of the year for me with a bit of darkness to give shade on hot sunny days. I wore this today for a lovely outing into the city

Thank you my dears for your lovely comments I had struggled a bit with the crystal ball bead because it is a bit on the heavier side and I always need to balance these out with lighter weighted beads and had first thought about a „Renassaince Fair Fortune Teller“ theme (with a tent, an old VW caravan with the peace sign and colourful beads). Maybe in the future, but right now I really love this one

The „opaque swirl“ on the right side as well as the „phython“ beads are part of the black empowerment set. And the one second from the left is a Cappucion, yes It always wants to join the empowerment set, I think it likes the power
